A quick definition of manor:

A manor is a big piece of land that used to be owned by a king or a rich person. It had a big house on it and lots of people who worked on the land. The owner of the manor had power over the people who lived and worked there. They could even hold a court to make decisions about them. Nowadays, we don't really have manors anymore, but sometimes we use the word to talk about a big fancy house on a big piece of land.

A more thorough explanation:

A manor is a feudal estate that was usually granted by the king to a lord or other high-ranking person. It was cultivated as a unit and included a village community, often composed of serfs. The term "manor" can also refer to:

  1. A jurisdictional right over tenants of an estate, usually exercised through a court baron.
  2. A tract of land occupied by tenants who pay rent to a proprietor in the United States.
  3. A mansion on an estate.

For example, in medieval England, a lord would be granted a manor by the king. The manor would include a village community of serfs who worked the land. The lord would have authority over the tenants and the right to hold a court for them. In the United States, a manor might refer to a large estate with a mansion and tenants who pay rent to the owner.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
